Lol i read it the right way anyway:lol:and it sounded perfect in my head.
Maybe i should learn to read.
Another check up tomorrow boring!
DD just got her belly button done,now she is walking around like a 90 year old
woman:cryinglaugh:. I did warn her BUT she HAD to have it.
No getting out of any jobs either as its self hurt hehehe
ouchies.......i have often thought of getting it done myself, but after seeing a friend of mine get a bad infection in hers, it put me off from having it done......so are you ready to have the baby? got the baggy packed for hospital ? gosh i had mine packed for maddison when i was 24wks because they said they were goign to take her then because of the dvt & placenta previa.....didn't need it until 38wks, so i did good.....cheers kiya
Oh yes its been packed for :rolleyes: since christmas:D. 16 Days to go and counting!
Im so so ready to meet this little baby and to love her.
It seem ive been pregnant for years and i think it seems that way cause we tried for so long and then all the treatment on top of that and now the hole pregnancy.
So yes very very ready!!!!
Hi everyone sorry I have not been in here.
Not having much fun up here and I'm begining to get a little worried.
had pm on 28th which lasted 7 days, stopped for a week and began again (on sunday) and is still going strong (today thursday). never had this before, Never.
Have had alot of clots too but my doctor does not seem to be too worried.
felt like saying you get 2 periods within 3 weeks and see how you feel....
at least I get an ultrasound but not untill the 3rd of may, first available appointment.
My docter wants me to seriously think about holding off on the Ivf for a while as I could have something cooking in there? (cyst or something). (craig is all for that GRRRR.)
plus I must admitt it has been about 5 years for a pap test for me, (overdue) maybe longer.
You know I feel like my tube is going to explode on my right, it is killing me.
I thought maybe an eptopic preg but he did a urine test and it said negative.
The pain is like someone pinching me, and it comes and goes.
friday night I was in so much pain I thought my uterus was going to fall out, then the bleeding came sunday and bright in colour too.
I would love to walk into that hopsital and tell the doctor who allowed me to have my tubes clamped that I am so gratefull for all this trouble it has caused.
Mumof5- I'm counting with you....
Kiya- wish mine were back at school, holidays have only just started here and I'm already wishing it was over....
Thank goodness my daughter still goes to preeschool, thats one child down 2 days a week, though I would prefer her home and the others at preeschool LOL....
Mummy25..
Still go ahead with you appt cause you must have a papsmear and an ultrasound as part of all the testing for the IVF.
Does sound weird that its just started up out of the blue like that.
But the specialist will sort it out for you
mummy25.....i agree with mumof5......don;t hold off, still have your appointment.....i have just had my pap & u/s which i have to have every 6mths because of the cells, but at least i know what is going on inside.....best of luck....things will be fine....cheers kiya
I will still go to appointment.
I think i misscarried.
The urine test said negative but no bloods were done.
I felt pregnant 6 weeks ago, I had the frequent trips to loo without pain and thought I had a uti but that came back negative of infection.
I also felt like I had concieved.
the bleeding is bright heavy and day 5 .
this excludes 2 weeks ago of 7 days bleeding.
The clots are huge.
I want a d and c done, and I'm thinking of going to the emergency tomorrow (today sorry it's 4.46am I'm at work).
If they wont do d and c the script for pills to stop the bleeding would be highly appreciated.
The pain has eased but still evident.
God it feels like forever since Ive stalked you all...pmsl
how is everyone...OMG EM!!!!!! your due any day! when did this happen???
Please, please fill me me on whats been happening
Hey Maz.....long time no see :-) How is that little man of yours going ? Don't be a stranger and stay away for too long next time. Cheers kiya
he's good hon. getting stronger everyday...15 weeks on tuesday, its gone so quickly. We have to get an u/s on his head soonish so we have abase line to start with for his cerabal palsey
how have you been? any developments at all????
thats excellent news darl....wow 15 weeks already....time sure has gone by fast.....i'm doing good.....i had my repeat pap, and it came back with an all clear.....they have now said that i can go to having them doing every 12mths.....we are now goign to wait until the middle of the year as it looks like dh is about to change job, and if so we want to make sure he has settled in before we head on down to NSW for the IVF......we both agreed that we don;t want to wait much longer as yes my age is not on my side, but heck if a 60 yr old can have a baby so can i, not that i'm 60 and far from it, but that 40 mark is getting closer.....cheers kiya
Hey Maz good to hear from you darl. Gee that little boy is just so cute i'd love to squeeze his little cheeks.
I sat at the hopsital yesterday for 9 and a half hours cause they wanted to do some testing then they just sent me home when my ECG wasnt that great the w@nker$.
They said now if you have anymore shortness of breath come in. I replied with i'll be fine and this is the reason i dont come in here cause you take so long so i deal with it at home.
So that was fine then this morning i find out that while i was in hospital DF the D*#khead put a ding in the side of the car then tried to lie about it. All becasue he was in a hurry to get to his indoor cricket game cause i made him late cause i was in hospital. F@#! i was at boiling point, i have insurance but still i have to pay the excess so i told him he could find the money him self and not out of our weekly budget. The hole house went to $hit while i wasnt home and now im thinking i might just have to try and have this baby naturally cause there is no way i can be layed up for a couple of weeks and not be able to do things or drive. He showed me yesterday that his isnt able to do it himself.
So im going to ask my OB on wednesday if they will induce me instead if she thinks its safe to do so. Sorry about the me post but i really need to vent somewhere and you girls are all i have to talk to.
Hope everyone had a good weekend XX
Em, vent all you like.....thats what us girlies are here for to give each support when needed....i wish i was down there to help you, give you that extra pair of hands and that well needed shoulder to lean on and cry if need be.....hope all goes well with the heart......i know all about that with my eldest son, as he has tachycardia......just rest up as much as you can when you can because soon you are going to need all the strength you can muster having this little buddle of joy.....cheers kiya
Hi ladies, sorry I`ve been MIA for such a long time, things have just been crazy around here. We have decided to get rid of all our workshop stock and DH will just keep doing mechanical repairs from home... I`m happy about that but the whole process of selling the stuff we have is just so frustrating.. As for me, well as I`ve said plenty of times I`m sure !! AF has been a bit cranky since the miscarriage and has been up to 40 day cycles so I went to the Dr at the start of the month and she put me on the pill to try and get regular again... one cycle is almost up now so hopefuly this fixes it, secretly I`m hoping I get pg cause I fell pg with #1 while I was on the pill all those years ago. No harm I`n hoping is there ?
Em, how you doing hun ? only a few more days to go, I`m sorry:hug: things havnt been great for you at home, men are so grr sometimes..:wall: they really just dont understand. I know its easy for me to say but try and take it easy over the next week and I cant wait to meet your precious little one..
Maz good to hear from you, glad to hear the little guy is doing good, man time fly`s.
Mummy have you ever had any other unusual cycles since the TL ? I know after my reversal(I realise our situation is a little different) I had a couple of cycles where I thought I may have miscarried because of the clots and heavy bleeding and horible pain, have you been back to see your Dr yet ? Hope all is ok with you.
Well I think I have babbled enough for today and will catch up again soon.
onemore....you haven't babbled.....it is good to hear what is going on.....hey do you ever those days you wished never happened and wish it was all just a dream.....i had that yesterday/last nite......and now i just want to curl up and go to sleep and hope that when i wake up everythign will be ok.......have i totally lost you all....i know i have totally lost myself....cheers kiya
Thanks onemore, counting down the days thats for sure
hey everyone, i am home.......... yeh........ will never be doing that again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! was on plane for two days and then on train 17 hours after spending 9 hours at the train station without being able to leave cause we had 8 large suitcases and 5 little ones!!!! the trip was ok. few mountains to jump, but the kids saw the snow and the family and they wanted to stay there even though they couldn't speak the language! my eldest daughter got somthing going with a spanish dude too! i know it won't last though! they can't even talk! its great to see you back maz..... em, nearly there mate, hang in there...... you probably sick of that..... wish i was like that..... i had af overseas so nothing happened after the hsg, never mind i am grateful i got to go. now back to normal life............. yeh!!!!!!!:dance:
Luvchildren: Welcome home.
Mumof5: All the best in the coming weeks....You can count down now on two hands
Well Im just waiting for my next appointment which isnt for another 3 weeks... Just been told that i have gall stones....wonderfull. DH had his test done which came back slightly abnormal so he has to redo the test... me just waiting on pap test results. So to kill time we are taking the kids on a driving holiday to Darwin....
So i will chat again soon and hopefully we should have some good news fingers crossed

Karen
Hey Luv glad your back it been so boring in here, there is just noone around just me and Kiya really. Storm has dropped off the face of the earth i think havent heard from her in months now. So glad you had a good holiday and i safe return your very brave cause i wouldnt have done it with 5 kids.
Karen have a good trip im sure it will be rotten hot up there so pack the thongs hehe.
My parents are up that way at the moment at a place called the Dayly River
Hi Ladies,
I had my tubes tied in 2002, 3mths postnatally with my fourth and feel that I was kinda bullied into having them done due to complications through all 4 pregnancies. It is something that I struggle with to this day and wish I had never had done. I would love to have more children and my DH and I have talked about the possibility of a tubal reversal but I wouldn't even know where to start as we have only been in OZ 18mths now. I don't even know what type of procedure I had done, how bad is that?
I know of a few woman back home who fell pregnant with their tubes still tied and every month I hope against all hope that I might be in the small majority of woman that this happens to.
I am blessed to have the 4 beautiful that I have but I have never felt like my family was complete, and it is a very hard thing to explain to people who don't feel the same.
I had alot of pain after my tubal ligation and every month get pain where my tubes are and was wanting to know from those that have had a reversal what the recovery was like, and whether anyone has experienced heavy periods since having them tied.
Thanks
Hey Tami,
Well you have come to the right place to meet other girls and hear there stories and get advice. As for me i had the reversal with no luck after 12months. So being the impaient person i am we went down the IVF path as the chances at falling were much higher then T/R and there was no chance at having an eptopic pregnancy which is pretty common after having a T/R. Ivf was very affordable aswell compared to the t/r price,$1450 in total for ivf and i payed about $4000 for my t/r which was the cheapest ive heard of to date and no rebate on my t/r but i got $850 back from my ivf. Some of the other ladies have payed 7000 and up and some have had it done free thru the public waiting list but you have to wait. Good luck with what ever you decide to do and i hope all your dreams come true.
4 MORE SLEEPS LADIES AND WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE???
WOW 4 more sleeps, bet you are so excited!!!!!!! I haven't been here as nothing to report, my ob/gyn thinks everything should be fine but wants to wait for approval by the neurosurgeon, so I am looking at either Sydney IVF or IVF Australia? not sure which one, I wish I could travel to Westmead through but I am unsure about public transport from the coast.
I am going another specialist soon to question stenting the main vain in my brain to see if that fixes things so that is all really, but good luck Mumof5 can't wait to see pictures of your new princess. Oh, and have you decided on a name?
Chat to you soon.
Hi ladies, how are we all today?
Em 4 sleeps wow, my older sisters birthday is the 1st and another sister has just started contractions, 30 mins apart hospital thinks still a few days to go !! cant imagine having contractions fors days on end. 15 hours with DS #1 and only 6 with DS #2.
Im planing on going in with her provided we time it correctly, it takes me 45 mins to get to her house so Ive told her to call me with enough time to get there.
Tami, welcome to our little world... I had the reversal in June 06 in Melbourne (for free on the waiting list for about 9 months) and fell pg in September 07, sadly lost bub on Nov 27 and are now TTC again.
My periods were never heavy but fairly irregular for quite a few months after op.
I think Melbourne Royal Womens is the only hospital in all of Aus that does this for free.
I will say the whole TTC process is very stressful and it does strange things to your mind !! I mean that in the nicest way.... I would also mention if you have the funds for IVF I would seriously consider that path because at least you have a direct path to the little one you desire and perhaps the chances of pg are greater than having the reversal.
Have a look at both options and choose what is the right one for you and your family, all the best.
Hope every one else is good..
Yes we have decided on a name, we are going to call her Breah Elizabeth Denice or Breah Alexis Denice still undecided on the middle name but atleast we have a name for her. Breah is normally spelt Brea but i didnt like it that way so i thought of Leah and just changed it to Breah. I hate Denice but its after my mum so what can you do:(.
Mummy25 how did your appointment go?
I haven't seen her around for a while I hope everything is okay. mumof5 I love the name. When you see her you will know exactly which middle name to call her.
It feels good being able to chat to other women facing the same predicament, when I mention the fact that I would like more children to friends they think I am mad.
Mum05 do you mind me asking where you had ivf done, that seems very cheap to me. I wouldn't even know how to go about it all, it is all very new to me as I had never really given it much thought. Always thought ivf was for those that were truely infertile not because of having ones tubes tied, how naive am I.
I love the name by the way!!!
Onemore I can imagine how stressful TTC would be after either procedure and don't know that I would cope very well with knowing we were really trying. When we tried inbetween 3 and 4 I was an emotional wreck every month. My mind already plays tricks on me that is how desperately I want this.
I will have a really good talk with DH and see what he thinks, he is more than happy to support any decision I make which I am so thankful for.
Not long for you to go Em. I would come over but I have a cold at the moment and I do not want to pass it on to anyone.
Tami, she got it done at Westmead Hospital and they are pretty cheap compared to others.
I will get back on here when I am feeling better which hopefully wont be too long.
Tami...Yep i had it done at Westmead IVF in Sydney, this is there website WestMead Fertility Centre They are a non profit clinic so this is why they are cheaper and medicare also send them a cheque for just over $2000 from memory. All you need to do is call them and they will point you in the right direaction and send out an information pack. It is strange doing IVF when you have fallen pregnant the normal way and then all of a sudden you are one of those people that you hear stories about that cant have kids. Even tho you already have 4 children the want for another one really hurts when it cant or wont happen. I guess it really makes us understand how those people that cant have a baby really feel cause we are in the same boat even tho we have kids it just the same as them. This is something i wanted so bad so i just jump in feet first cause i wasnt going to wait at what ever cost. I didnt really have the money to be spending on having another baby but if we want something bad enough we always find the money dont we. Each week leading up to my appt i put away $200 so by the time i was finished see the fertility specialist which you have to do and i finished a course of the pill which you also have to do i had saved up all the money and the rest is history.
Crazymum.. best you have you phone on you on Thursday so i can message you so you can let the girls know all the details
em, hey great see you ready and waiting. hoping for the best.. for you. its great to jump on and chat again. the name sounds really nice- how you feelin about your mum coming up?
tami, hi and welcome. i had t/r dec 06. i have six children and had a nasty situation when the ligation was done. since then i have had two ectopics but i still have my tubes and have a whole lot less problems then before the reversal. which ever path you choose just know us ladies will always chat with you!
onemore, hey excited for you too.... hope everything works out ok
karend, hope you tests come back better...
Hey Luv no mum isnt coming down for the birth, no reason why she just said she wouldnt be here
Morning Ladies,
What a huge relief it is to finally be able to chat to like minded individuals. Alot of people just don't understand how strong the desire to have another can be and you always hear comments such as 'you already have four what do you want another one for?' and ' just be happy with what you have got'. My heart goes out to those couples who don't have any children and are on the ivf path.
I never in my widest dreams thought that ivf would be a reality for me but you have all given me a bit of hope, so thank you.
I will be looking into it and will let you know how we get on and what we decide.
Have a lovely day.
Good luck on your journey Tami, it will be a tough one but it will all be worth it in the end.
hey em, is dh taking any time off work to help you? I so feel for you at the moment, so long ago it seems you started your journey and now you begin another chapter.....
tami, thats great for you... lots of people have success with ivf
I contacted IVF Sunshine coast yesterday and have requested a brochure. They offer a free consultation which is great news. I have not been able to stop thinking about it, isn't it funny how once you know there is a way you start to fantasise well that is what I am doing. To think that something I have longed for may eventuate is a very exciting prospect.
I just wanted to ask if there is ever a time when IVF is not a possibility? The reason I ask is that I had pregnancy induced hypertension that required taking meds in my pregnancies, I am hoping with regular monitoring that it will be okay and I will have as good outcomes as with previous pregnancies. I also know of women that had the same condition with some pregnancies but not others.
Oh so many questions, I will be sure to write them all down and take them with me for my first consult.
Yeah DF is taking 2 weeks off as of today. Going in at 11am and delivery is at 1:30pm that is if all goes to plan.
Well im signing off chickies. Catch you all on the flip side.
I will text crazymum with all the details so she can let you all know.
Hey Em, I guess your all tucked up in hospital getting rady for tomorrow. Cant wait to see some pics of this special little one... All the best for tomorrow and here`s to a speedy recovery, talk to you again soon xxxx
The witch showed up yesterday so now I`m just looking forward to this next month and I prey it is our month. Ive started taking 2 lots of Blackwells tablets, pregnancy and breastfeeding and conceive well so hopfuly that will give me a bit of a boost.. and Im also gonna chart and see what happens from there.
Hi Tami, great to hear things have started to move along for you, and Im sure with todays brains !! they can sort something out for the hypertension if it happened to show up this time.. all the best and I hope your journey is a short one..
Hi to everyone else..
Storm where are you ??? Maz it`d be nice to hear from you again..
Night all
Just letting you all know that Breah was born at 2.05pm and the stats are 6 pound and 13 oz and she is 50 cm.
I am slowly getting over this cold and if I am ok soon I will go and visit Em in hospital.
Ang
That is wonderful news indeed!!!
Oh yay woo hoo Congratulations Em!!!!
